Ettore Sottsass
No other designer has influenced the world of international design postwar like Ettore Sottsass Jr. He made design history before launching the company 'Memphis' he founded with Barbara Radice, Ernesto Gismondi and a number of international designers. He left his company in 1985 to explore new ways and others in 1958, when he began to produce typewriters and calculators, as well as the first computers for Olivetti, and by establishing standards, not only in this field but in the myth of Italian design, Sottsass transcribed his personal happiness, failures, sickness and joy in the design. His lighting, furniture, and repeatedly, ceramics are the critical reflection of current events and reflect his enthusiasm for the beauty of this world; as these objects are also the result of intensive research for new types, materials and technologies. In his office in Milan, there are side by side, generations of computers, graphics made for international companies, its own magazine Terrazzo, the schedule of the office for the next ten years, or wonderful color drawings for holiday homes in California. Depending on the design boom of the 80s, Sottsass is always in search of new themes in the early 90s: While rediscovers his love for architecture, it establishes a link with all the work of his father who was also an architect, but he is obliged to distinguish themselves from him, he is reluctant to add a "jr." to his name early in his career
